THE SHIPPER'S DELIGHT MUSKMELON 



This very distinct new melon was introduced by us in 1897, and lias met with large sale, and many 

 leading melon growers have realized handsomely on their crops of "Delights," owing to their gr«at 

 earliness and fine shipping qualities. It is one of the very best early green-tleshed melons. Its distinct, 

 handsome appearance and peculiar shape, in each melon having a button on the blossom end, are well 

 shown in our photograph above. They are of fine size for market; flesh green, thick and of delicious 

 quality. Pkt., lOc; oz., 15c.; i lb., 35c. ; lb., $1.25.
